I thought it would be interesting to discuss who you believe have had the best overall skating and stickhandling abilities combined. I think we could all agree who #1 is, but who are the best of the rest?

1. McDavid
2. Bure
3. Crosby
4. Fedorov
5. Ovechkin
6. Kovalchuk
7. Jagr
8. Malkin
9. Datsyuk
10. Lemieux

HM: Forsberg, Karlsson, MacKinnon, Barzal, Gaudreau, Kane, Kuznetsov

I'm probably missing a few but that's roughly what I came up with off the top of my head.

MN
Beliveau, Denis Savard, Datsuyk, Perrault, Lemieux, Gretzky, Orr, McDavid, Makita, Crosby

HM - Malkin, Dionne, Lafleur, Bure, Kent Nilsson, Messier, P. Kane, ...probably a whole bunch I've forgotten. Oh, and McDavid wouldn't be #1. That would be Orr, possibly followed by Beliveau, who I never saw as a young man, when he still had great speed. 66 and 99 were giants, also. They controlled the game when the puck was on their stick.
Never saw the Rocket, nor a young Harvey(just with STL, maybe a bit in NY?). Going by people who saw them, they would be considered for this list.

Oh, and the Soviets were insane! Makarov, Lirianov...
